Era Name: Era of Echoes of the Past
Starting Moment
Without warning, the Second Hand of the Great Clock shifted back one beat. It didn't just stop—it pulled a piece of the past back into the present. The chime wasn't loud, but all of existence felt it like a memory suddenly becoming real.
The Great Clock wasn't broken.
But the world's memories now had the weight of reality.

Immediate Cosmic Impact
1. Chronological Leakage
Events that happened but are now:
Emerging as Shadows of History, Repeating significant events (wars, treaties, betrayals), Interactable, but not always irreversible
Some cities suddenly had two versions of themselves: the current one and the one that "was."
---
2. The Birth of New Beings
From the vibrations of the Second Hand, new races and entities are born:
Remnants – the souls of past figures who refuse to be forgotten
Echoborn – living beings born from historical events (e.g., a war that "birthed" an immortal warrior)
Spirit Archives – spirits without will, containing only pure facts
They are not fully subject to the laws of the present.

3. The Reaction of the Zodiac Rulers
Scorpio (Mortyx): Gaining great power. Death is no longer final.
Virgo (Axiom): Anger. The cosmic order is tainted by redundancy.
Gemini (Lyr & Lyrra): Thriving—past & present are a perfect duality.
Capricorn (Chronarch): Declaring this an existential danger. Fate becomes blurred.
The Rulers disagree:
Should the Second Hand be returned… or harnessed?

Changes in the World
Old Magic Resurrects: Extinct spells become usable again.
Ancient Races Emerge: Some of the races created by the early zodiacs that were once destroyed are walking the earth again.
History Is No Longer Safe: Digging into the past can create enemies.
Historians are now more feared than generals.

New Laws Emerge
> Law of Reverberation:
The greater the influence of a past event, the more powerful its presence becomes when recalled.
Legends become weapons.
Myths become reality.

State of the Great Clock

Minute Hand: Struggling to maintain a unified reality
Hour Hand: Still… as if awaiting the worst outcome
